18. Rubelt (2) – End part edited
Hestia’s green eyes were aimed at the clone behind Yuma.
“…It’s cute.”
Hestia opened her eyes wide and snuggled up next to the girl with black hair and gold eyes, who began to look at her.
“How old are you?”
Clone spoke quietly while looking at Hestia who was staring at him.
“Fifteen years old.”
“Huh, baby! Baby! I’m nineteen!”
Yuma slowly shook her head.
Because it didn’t seem like there was any difference in who would call someone else’s baby.
“What’s your specialty? I’m a sword! Shoo! Shoo!”
“I’m a wizard.”
It was difficult for Clone to withstand Hestia’s high tension. The instinctive burden that comes from two extreme personalities. However, Clone tried to match Hestia’s vitality as much as possible.
This is because I heard what happened last night from Yuma before leaving this morning.
With the words that we will probably be acting together as a group all day today.

After satisfying some of her curiosity about Clone, Hestia snuggled next to Yuma again.
“We’re all at the security station. What do you plan on doing there?”
“I’m looking for a guide.”
Yuma decided that it would be easier to resolve the matter if he brought along a guide who knew even a little bit about the castle’s situation rather than suddenly bringing in a member of the Miao family and claiming that he had some business to do.
‘The guy who showed me around the inn would be enough.’
This time, Yuma planned to ask Hestia something she was curious about.
“Did you say you can smell a different species, and to what extent can you pinpoint their location?”
Hestia slowly shook her head.
“Sometimes that’s possible. It’s not that clear right now.”
“I see.”
“Why is Yuma hanging out with that kid?”
“I don’t know anything about that.”
Hestia made a sullen expression upon hearing Hestia’s cold words.
“What is your level as a prosecutor?”
Hestia said while fiddling with the sword on his waist.
“Sword expert intermediate level.”
She clearly knew her level. Self-objectification was a very essential element for prosecutors.
“Arrived!”
Hestia’s energetic shout was heard.
Yuma stood in front of the gate of the Rubel County Guard. Two crossed spears blocked Yuma’s path.
“Please tell me your business.”
The words were quite polite.
Unlike the two crossed spears.
‘It looks like an order has been given.’
Do not have deep conversations with the princess’ agent. It seemed like such an order had been given.
“I plan to meet Count Rubelt. I want the person who guided me to the inn to act as a guide.”
The guard’s eyes suddenly darkened.
“…Please wait a moment.”
And then went inside the security guard. The person the crew brought out was someone unfamiliar to Yuma. It seemed clear that he was the person who had taken him to the inn last night.
The middle-aged person bowed her waist towards Yuma.
“I am meeting Yuma, the representative of the First Princess. My name is Arsene, the guard captain.”
Arsene, who had a neatly trimmed mustache that stood out, straightened his bent back and looked directly at Yuma.
“May I ask why you wish to meet His Excellency Count Rubel?”
Yuma looked at Arsene and slowly opened her mouth.
“Arsene Guard Captain.”
Arsene swallowed his saliva at Yuma’s call.
Yuma continued.
“Do I seem to be in a position to tell you business?”
There was a reason for the meeting that I had been thinking about while coming here.
“The First Princess had something to convey to Count Rubelt. She asked me to convey it directly through my own mouth.”
The reason why Count Rubelt dare not refuse.
“So guide me.”
Arsene bowed his head once again. He admitted that it was something he couldn’t refuse.
“I understand.”
Once he gave in, Arsene’s actions were rapid. He immediately found a carriage heading to the lord’s castle.
Dagdakdakdakdakdak
The carriage began to move toward Yeongju Castle.

“Arrived.”
Yuma was able to face the magnificent count castle.
In front of the Countess Castle, it felt like there was a tight security even from the outside.
A knight wearing white armor approached, his gaiters clanging.
“Arsene Guard Captain, what’s going on in the count’s castle? What about interest?”
“Please be polite. This is Lady Yuma, 1st Princess Brigitte’s representative.”
The knight slowly lowered her head towards Yuma.
“This is Lochman, Rubelt’s deputy commander.”
“Yumada, agent of the First Princess.”
From noble mtl dot com
“Have you come to see His Excellency Count Rubelt?”
“Yes.”
Rokman stared at Yuma with a stern face.
“Please wait a moment in the VIP room. Guard Captain Arsene, I will guide you.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Arsene disappeared after guiding Yuma and his group to the VIP room.
Yuma had checked the information window of Count Rowelk, deputy knight commander.

Class: Inspection
Level: Sword Expert Advanced
Growth Potential: Sword Expert Advanced
He was not as overwhelmingly powerful as I thought.
The growth limit has already reached its limit.
Of course, compared to Yuma, the criminal, he was incredibly talented.
Yuma searched her subspace pockets.
It was not the subspace pouch I received from Princess Brigitte.
It was a space pouch that the sword spirit Kronos kept in the inside pocket of her coat.
Kronos’ subspace pocket literally had no treasure trove of swords. A treasure trove of swords with numerous famous swords piled up.
It was best for Yuma to use this famous sword for ‘parrying’, but Hestia right next to her would be different.
This Miao swordsman has the growth potential of a ‘Sword Master’.
Seuuu…
Yuma handed Hestia a suitable sword he had selected from Kronos’ subspace pocket.
[Ciceteria of the full moon]
Sword
Durability: 100,000
Attack power: 700
Characteristic: When performing a ‘slash’ attack, the chance of inflicting a critical hit on the enemy increases.
Hestia opened her eyes wide and stared at the sword Yuma had given her.
I stared at the sword that was shining so noblely.
“This…!”
Hestia said as if she couldn’t believe it. She
She And she looked at Yuma again.
“What a sword!”
He spoke as if he knew the value of the sword.
“…Ciseteria. It’s a famous sword specializing in cutting. If there’s someone who dares attack you, cut them down with this.”
Hestia is oh! She let out a gasp and looked around at the sword.
“The reason you gave me this famous sword was to appoint me as your subordinate?”
There was no such intention.
“I mean, don’t bother me. With that sword, you will be able to defeat most of this castle.”
If the sword’s characteristic ‘slash’ critical strike is delivered properly, it will be able to cut off Lokman’s life.
“Well, such a famous sword…!”
Hestia began to have a huge misunderstanding again. He even gave her his famous sword when he told her that he was looking for her younger brother.
‘Indeed… ‘How can such a great warrior be so merciful to the weak!’
As Hestia was contemplating her misunderstanding, she heard the voice of a knight outside.
-No. Miss. Please go back… Huh, I understand. Miss. It’s really just a moment.
Then the door opened and a girl walked in. It was a girl with striking blonde hair.
The girl bowed to her Yuma and showed respect.
“I meet Yuma, the representative of the First Princess.”
The pronunciation was clear, but the voice was clearly shaking.
“My name is Ruine. Please do me a favor.”
It was a trembling feeling of earnestness.
“Please rescue my brother, Count Rubelt’s eldest son, Kaisen, who is currently in a strange prison. It’s strange. Even if you put him in prison, you can just put him in a place where he can meet you. I locked him in a prison that only a few people in the count family know about. No one. A place where we can’t meet.”
Ruine pressed her own small face to her Yuma’s ear. And she whispered.
“Dad, no. The Count has become strange.”
After finishing her sentence, Louis quickly removed her face.
Yuma stared at Ruine, who lowered her head once again.
The house seems to be in a very messy state.
-The Count is telling you to come in.
The knight’s voice was heard outside the door. Yuma raised her body.
The knight opened the door to the count’s office.
A huge chair that looks like a throne.
Count Rubelt was sitting in that chair.
White hairs were visible between the gaps in the brown hair.
Hagail Peluvelt opened his mouth.
“Nice to meet you. Yuma, the representative of the 1st princess.”
Yuma slowly opened her mouth.
“Nice to meet you, Count Rubelt.”
Yuma did not show her expression.
But Only told her the truth.

Caution: You are in a state of being consumed by demonic energy by an unidentified entity. Most of our sense of self is lost.
Your body is being controlled by an unidentified entity.
It already worked.
My spirit.
The unidentified being written on that note.
‘Probably a dragon.’
If there was a person who wielded magic energy, there was a high probability that it was a black dragon. It’s either a series of demonic dragons or something.
‘For now.’
With a vague understanding, I leave the Count’s residence.
And then he meets the count’s eldest son in the dungeon. The fact that the eldest sons of each count family were imprisoned. That means you know a lot.
I was able to find out where the true body of the person currently controlling the count’s mind was.
There was a possibility that Hestia, who was covering the Miao people’s ears with her robe next to her, knew where her younger sister was desperately looking for.
Count Rubel said while staring at Yuma.
“1St Princess Brigitte has something to tell me?”
Yuma opened his mouth slyly.
“It’s a very simple matter. It would be good if you could help the 1st Princess Brigitte. Since this is the princess’s request, wouldn’t it be right to tell her face to face like this?”
It was a very simple business for coming to the count’s castle, but the fact that it was the princess’s words gave it validity.
Ruvelt nodded slowly.
“That’s right. If it’s the princess’s words, there’s a strong need for an agent to deliver them in person. Then, do you have any further business with this?”
“I might stop by one more time before I leave the earldom.”
Ruvelt smiled.
“At that time, I will at least prepare a dinner for you. Yuma, the princess’ representative.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”
After ending the conversation in a way that did not make the Count feel uncomfortable, Yuma decided to turn around and leave.
And as he thought, Count Rubelt did not stop Yuma and his party from going down to the Count’s Castle.
